Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 lineup last month. The latest iPhones have been on sale across the world for about four weeks now.

That’s enough time to understand the preliminary supply and demand of these smartphones. Thanks to an analyst, we have a brief idea regarding the performance of the latest iPhones in India.

Recently, Abhilash Kumar, an analyst at TechInsights, shared his thoughts on the supply and demand of the iPhone 15 series in India.

He says that as per estimates from TechInsights, out of all four new iPhones, the regular iPhone 15 is the highest-selling model in India. It is followed by the most expensive model — the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Whereas the iPhone 15 Plus has the least demand, however, it is well received compared to the iPhone 14 Plus whose release was delayed by a month last year. Thus, the iPhone 15 Pro sits comfortably in the third place.

Despite the huge demand, the waiting time for the base iPhone 15 is just about 1 week, as a result of local assembling earlier than the previous year. On the other hand, the waiting period for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is close to 3 weeks or more.

The iPhone Pro models are still exclusively manufactured in China. While the iPhone 15 Plus will reportedly be assembled in India starting this quarter.

Additionally, Abhilash notes that the demand for the iPhone 15 Pro Max is high in India though it is $720 more expensive than in the US. He mentions features like 5x tetraprism zoom camera, titanium frame, and USB Type-C as the driving factors.

In a brief conversation with us, Mr Kumar disclosed that he personally believes upper-class Indians as the target audience for the iPhone 15 Pro series. So a ₹20,000 (~$240) price difference between the Pro and Pro Max just for a longer-range zoom camera does not bother them. 

Hence, the most premium iPhone model is in more demand in the country, preceded by the standard model.
